* Data from 47 reporting areas; excludes five reporting areas (California, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, and New Hampshire) that did not report, did not report by method type, or did not meet reporting standards. Areas reporting by method type with unknown gestational age or gestational age reported was not compatible with categorizations presented in this table are included.
† Includes uterine aspiration (might also be called dilation and curettage, aspiration curettage, suction curettage, manual vacuum aspiration, menstrual extraction, sharp curettage) and dilation and evacuation procedures.
§ Intrauterine instillations reported at ≤12 weeks’ gestation were considered as unknown for method type.
¶ Percentages for the individual component categories might not add to 100% because of rounding.
** Percentage is calculated as the number of abortions reported by known method type divided by the sum of abortions reported by known and unknown method type. Values ≥99.95% are rounded to 100.0%.
†† Two weeks were added to the probable postfertilization age to provide a corresponding measure to gestational age based on the clinician’s estimate.
§§ Cells with a value in the range of 1–4 or cells that would allow for calculation of these small values have been suppressed.
¶¶ Numbers for medical abortions at ≤9 weeks versus >9 weeks are not presented because gestational age reported was not compatible with these categorizations.
*** Numbers for surgical abortions at ≤13 weeks versus >13 weeks and for medical abortions at ≤9 weeks versus >9 weeks are not presented because gestational age data were not provided by method type.
††† Reporting to the central health agency is not required. Data are requested from hospitals and licensed ambulatory care facilities only.
§§§ Numbers for surgical abortions ≤13 weeks and >13 weeks and medical abortions ≤9 weeks versus >9 weeks are not presented as gestational age reported was not compatible with these categorizations.
¶¶¶ Includes residents only. Wisconsin reports as surgical, unspecified and does not differentiate surgical abortions from hysterectomy/hysterotomy. All abortions were reported as surgical or chemically induced. For this report, all surgical abortions were classified as surgical and all chemical abortions as medical.
**** For the total only, surgical abortions reported without a gestational age were distributed among the surgical abortion categories according to the distribution of surgical abortions at known gestational age.
†††† For the total only, medical abortions reported without a gestational age were distributed among the medical abortion categories according to the distribution of medical abortions at known gestational age.
§§§§ Percentage based on a total of 575,098 abortions reported among the areas that met reporting standards for method type.
